Border Crossings

British Columbia is bordered by the Yukon and Alaska to the north, Alberta to the east and the U.S. to the south. If you are entering Alberta via Highway 16 and Jasper National Park, you may be required to pay a fee as you enter the park area.

Do you travel frequently to the U.S.? The NEXUS card can help you skip lengthy queues.

Note: Although the U.S. border inspection station at Hyder is closed, travellers may cross between the U.S. and B.C. via the Stewart border crossing.

Greening the Border at the Peace Arch

Did you know that idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel than turning off and restarting your engine?

At the Peace Arch border crossing, a traffic signal moves traffic in pulses, allowing motorists to turn off their engines while waiting for the line ahead to clear. This reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from southbound traffic by an estimated 45 percent, and saves nearly half a litre of fuel per vehicle.
